              Two years back 
                I have moved to Nefteyugansk (Russia, Siberia) 
                where I could not receive the sanction to installation 
                for a full-sized HF- antenna on the roof of my house. , So I began 
                to do experimenters with short indoors antennas. Most success 
                design of my indoor antenna is a design similar to Fig. 59, given in Reference 
                1. 
                
                
              I have used 
                an inch OD plastic pipe to the form of the antennal. The pipe 
                was bent in a hoop near1 meter diameter. Antenna has 580 turns 
                (near 61 meters of length) of multicore isolated wire of 3 mm 
                diameter with thickness of isolation of 1 mm. So, the spacing 
                between turns is 2 mm. Antenna has SWR 1:1 to 50-Ohm coaxial cable 
                to 14.100, bandwidth to SWR 1:1.5 is 300-kHz. I use a simple symmetrical 
                device- 3 turns on a TV yoke ferrite core. Space from the antenna 
                to the ceil is near 25 centimeters. 
                
                
              The 
              antenna has quite good directed properties at rotation within 30-90 
              degrees the force of signals varied to 1-1,5 
              points on mine S-meter. I use a YAESU FT840 for my work in the ether. 
              Change of polarization (at rotation of the antenna on the vertical 
              side) appreciable changes has not given as well as change of feeding 
              points has not given large change in the force of signals.
